Creative Play Bilingual Homeschool

School is out! Kind of...

Well, we finally got through most of Europe in Exploring Countries and Cultures, stopping right before Germany. We will be having "summer school" lasting about 1 hour daily that includes math, English and Spanish reading, and journal writing. She also has a daily Spanish copywork page. She's also in the library's summer reading program, and no, her assigned reading doesn't count... hehehe. If we have time (interest), we'll do some science, art, and/or music with the K-12 Free Homeschool. Since dh is working sporadically, only math and reading is really getting done. I'm satisfied with that. It's more than we did last summer, lol! We put our garden in, and it looks like the cucumber, radish, one tomatillo, and one red chili plant are coming up so far. I'm still waiting for the broccoli, tomatoes, jalapenos, squash, spinach, corn, and carrots. Oh yeah, some beans are coming up too. It's amazing what you can fit in a small space .  I keep thinking I should have waited before putting in the broccoli, spinach, and carrots though, since they are cool weather crops. Aren't they? Dd showed her dog in the local 4-H dog show. She won 2nd place for showmanship, 4th in obedience, and 1st for talent. Although, everyone that participated in talent got 1st. A week ago, she thought the dog could use a trim, put the runt on her lap and put a pair of scissors to her. Have you ever seen a terrier without its trademark beard? Or eyelashes? Or patches of fur missing in various places? Hopefully, it grows back before the county show in August; for sure it will be slightly embarassing for her at the dog clinic this upcoming Sunday. Oh, well. Live and learn, right?
